Thread: Would you trade for OG Logan Mankins?

LOL!!

I also agree with Grizz, I've not followed many college players careers, but reading about that Carimi kid, he sounds like the best option outside of pouncey (who i'm thinking will already be gone)

I'm having a hard time believing that NE would even let Mankins go period let alone for a 3rd round pick but if they were willing to deal for that little, hell yes you get him. Does anyone here see anyone in the 3rd round of the draft who could be his immediate equal? This line needs to be rebuilt now and not two years from now so yeah, if you can get him for that price you do it no questions asked. If they want a second then it needs to be next year second and not this years. Too many other holes to fill to give up that high a pick this year.

Get Mankins if possible and then draft Carimi and we get a very nice starting combo on the left side. Then we still have Williams as a very competent swing man at either spot for depth. If we accomplish this Omiyale can be banished to the right side and compete with Webb for the RT spot which of course he'll lose and become an expensive backup but once again a fairly competent one with a starters experience. We can live with Kruetz and Garza for another year but we need to be drafting replacements for both or find someone already on the roster who can take over.

Not a chance they are trading mankins for a 3rd..i'm with you, that's crazy talk, his tag will prob be around $10.7 mill FWIW and he was "disgruntled" in 2010 and still made all pro , so the $10 mill sure better than the $1.54 mill he made in 2010

Jammal Brown, Doug Free (whom I wanted in the draft over Wolfe and has turned into a stud at LT), Marshal Yanda, Blalock, Dahl and Ryan Harris top my list.

The Falcons have 3 starting OLmen in free agency and all are talented and they will not be able to sign them all.
OG Justin Blalock 6'4" 329lbs.
Solid unspectacular player who is young and solid and would be a huge upgrade.
